Lin Feng knew Xie Nan wasn't boasting, just stating facts. With Long Xiaoyun and his thirty-plus brothers from the Qingzi Sect joining Fenghuo Bar, this small street near the university town would essentially be their domain.
Even if Xie Nan and Long Xiaoyun had no intention of dictating the rules for this street, Fenghuo Bar now had nearly fifty people. On this minor street, untouched by major powers, no one would dare to disrespect them.
"Hahaha…" Cheng Dalong, who hadn't wanted to get further entangled with Xie Nan, suddenly burst out laughing. He looked at Xie Nan's grim expression and asked coldly, "Xie Nan, are you still dreaming? Thinking you can dominate this street? Let ask you, on what grounds?"
"On what grounds? On the strength of my Fenghuo Bar! What, you don't agree?" Xie Nan glared at Cheng Dalong and retorted bluntly, "I don't want to waste any more words on you. Scram now, and you might still get out of this in one piece."
"You're telling to scram? Scram to hell! I'd like to see just how tough you really are…" Cheng Dalong cursed, then waved his hand. His four followers quickly stepped forward, surrounding Xie Nan and his two n, their eyes wide with anger. "Get this bastard first! Daring to provoke , doesn't he want to live anymore?!"
"Yes, Brother Dalong!" The thugs behind Cheng Dalong showed no fear. Hearing his order, they closed in on Xie Nan, cracking their knuckles…
A gleam of excitent flashed in Xie Nan's eyes. Ordinarily, he wouldn't have been so arrogant. After all, they operated on the sa street, and he would have shown Cheng Dalong so respect. But today was different. Not only had Long Xiaoyun's investnt significantly boosted Fenghuo Bar's strength, but Cheng Dalong had also offended Lin Feng. For these reasons, Xie Nan couldn't afford to be polite to him. Besides, Xie Nan had drunk a fair bit and was clearly feeling impulsive.
Among those present, only Cheng Dalong's fighting skills were sowhat noteworthy to Xie Nan; the others were small-ti thugs he barely registered. Because this street was near the university town, no major gangs had ever established a presence here. Consequently, Cheng Dalong's followers were rely street punks used to minor scuffles.
Although the current Loyalty Gang and Dragon Cloud Club weren't considered major gangs, Xie Nan knew that the Qingzi Sect behind Long Xiaoyun was a colossal organization, one of the major powers that had established the underground order in Jiangzhou City.
With the Qingzi Sect backing him, Xie Nan's confidence soared. He felt there was no one on this street he needed to be wary of anymore.
Seizing this opportunity, with Cheng Dalong having foolishly provoked Brother Feng, Xie Nan planned to make a statent and establish Fenghuo Bar's reputation. From now on, any petty thugs who dared to cause trouble on this street would have to think twice!
So, when Xie Nan saw Cheng Dalong preparing to attack, he wasn't scared. Instead, an eager glint flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and yelled to his two underlings, "Wang Qiang, Ou Yong, let's go!"
BAM! THUD... BANG... CRACK... AGHH…
Amidst a flurry of impacts and pained cries, Xie Nan and his two n started brawling with Cheng Dalong's group right in front of Lin Feng.
Ning Aoxue glanced at Lin Feng, then at the n fighting in front of her. She knew Xie Nan was Lin Feng's friend and had initially been worried. However, seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, she relaxed.
Lin Feng hadn't been tense at first. When he saw Xie Nan co out with his n, he thought he could just sit back and enjoy the show. Who would have thought that, whether due to Xie Nan being drunk or Cheng Dalong's n being surprisingly skilled, the five-on-three situation quickly changed? Two of Xie Nan's n were taken down, and the fight turned into five ganging up on Xie Nan.
Xie Nan's footing was a bit unsteady, but he was, after all, a master of Inner Strength. Despite his swaying, his defense was still solid, and Cheng Dalong's n couldn't actually hurt him.
Lin Feng was sowhat speechless. This Xie Nan, he really fumbles at critical monts!
What frustrated Lin Feng was that Xie Nan, despite being ganged up on, showed no intention of backing down. Gritting his teeth, he endured their rather light blows while occasionally landing a Heavy Fist of his own, causing one of Cheng Dalong's n to double over and retch.
"Still trying to act tough! Still dare to say this street belongs to Fenghuo Bar? I'll beat you to death today if you don't stop…" Seeing how resilient Xie Nan was, Cheng Dalong started to get annoyed. He pulled a small Spring Knife from his pocket, flicked the blade out, and prepared to deal Xie Nan so serious blows!
Xie Nan, still unaware his opponent had a knife, panted heavily and laughed loudly, "Cheng Dalong, hit harder if you dare! Is that all the strength you have, you arrogant prick?! Just wait till I call my n, then you won't be able to run!"
Fenghuo Bar was only a few dozen ters behind him. If Xie Nan shouted a little louder, he could alert everyone inside. Cheng Dalong knew this, so his expression tightened, growing even more grim.
"Let's see how you call for help after I stab you a couple of tis…" Cheng Dalong brandished his knife and was about to charge at Xie Nan.
Lin Feng frowned. Just as he was about to make a move against Cheng Dalong, who was preparing for an underhanded attack, he suddenly saw a figure dash out from the direction of Fenghuo Bar. The figure leaped into the air and landed a heavy kick squarely on Cheng Dalong's chest, sending him flying more than two ters away.
It was Lu Pengju and Zhou Yang, alerted by the commotion, who had rushed over. Lu Pengju was already heading this way when he saw Xie Nan's two underlings get knocked down. When he saw Cheng Dalong pull out the Spring Knife, he accelerated, launched a flying kick, and sent Cheng Dalong sprawling at the last possible mont.
"Motherfucker! You dare to beat up my brother? Are you looking for death?!" Lu Pengju, who had also been drinking, was fired up and roared at Cheng Dalong's group.
"Brother Dalong…" Cheng Dalong's n were flustered by Lu Pengju's ferocity. Several of them ran to help Cheng Dalong up, anxiously asking, "More people from Fenghuo Bar have arrived. What do we do now?"
"Cough, cough…" Cheng Dalong coughed a few tis. Lu Pengju's kick had been powerful. It was a good thing Cheng Dalong had so training and decent resilience; if it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have been able to get back up after that kick!
"Don't be rash… These two don't look simple!" Cheng Dalong warned his underlings, his gaze fixed on Lu Pengju and Zhou Yang as a sense of caution crept into his mind.
Lu Pengju trained constantly in a military camp, so his skin was very dark, and his muscles were much more developed than Xie Nan's, making him look very formidable. Zhou Yang, on the other hand, didn't seem particularly threatening, especially with his outwardly nonchalant deanor. However, Cheng Dalong dared not let his guard down.
